Baltic amber with multiple inclusions – eocene fossilised resin – genuine specimen from baltic sea – grade c with certificate

Description

This listing features a 100% genuine Baltic Amber specimen from the Eocene Epoch, dating back approximately 56 to 33.9 million years ago. This natural fossilised tree resin contains visible multiple inclusions, beautifully preserved in the translucent golden amber.

Amber forms from the fossilisation of tree resin (not sap) produced by ancient coniferous trees. Over millions of years, this resin entombed unfortunate small animals, insects, and plant fragments. The resin first hardens into copal through natural polymerisation, and then slowly transforms into amber under geological pressure and heat over millions of years. This process preserves organisms with astonishing clarity, creating what we now consider prehistoric time capsules.

The specimen comes from the Baltic Sea region, globally known for its extensive and rich amber deposits, which have yielded some of the best-preserved insect fossils in the world.

Grade C amber includes:

• Clearly visible inclusions, though they may be partial, faint or obscured
• Inclusions that often require a magnifying lens or loupe to be viewed in full detail

We highly recommend using a magnifying aid to view the intricate details of the trapped fly specimen and appreciate this tiny piece of natural history.

Amber inclusions can include a wide variety of organisms such as:

• Flies
• Gnats
• Midges
• Beetles
• Wasps
• Ants
• Spiders
• Cockroach nymphs
• Seeds and plant fragments
